Honestly I'm not 100% sure on clubs or shows around the Alberta area although I have been watching for info on them.I know there are clubs in the Edmonton area though.Check with some of the numerous shops there and they should be able to get you contact info for one.

Thanx I appreciate that.To cut the doors open I used the slow tedious process off using the back of a #11 xacto blade and then cleaning it up with various sanding sticks.

Great lookin build.Where did you get the wheels?

Got the front door cut open.Although I haven't decided on which way I'm going to set them to open yet though. Haven't decided on a paint color either yet. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

I have to ask.What did you use on the seats and doorpanels for paint?

Thanx for the comps and the suggestions fellas.I never even thought of making it like a parts runner for a shop.Thats the route I'm going to take.But its going to be pretty close to this height when I'm done.

Thanx I appreciate that.Chopping or channelling is out of the question now,since I've got one of the doors all the way cut and half way through the second one.This kit is old.On the box it has directional rims.

Started this build last night.I'm not a 100% sure on what direction I'm going to take on this build.But,one thing for sure it will be low. I cut the rear door open.I will probably be cutting the front doors open aswell but I haven't decided which way they will open yet.The black line you see are the mold lines that I marked that I need to remove. Any opinions on what direction I should got with this build will be considered. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy.

Thanx fellas I appreciate it.

I wasn't really liking the clear bedfloor idea plus in my head my dream truck didn't have one so I revamped the bedfloor to suite my vision. The front and rear areas of the bedfloor will be made from .060" sheet styrene and the tubs are made from the centers of spray can lids. I'll be adding more to the rear of the bed to cover the fuel cell. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy

Clear bedfloor center made from a cd case. I just need to build the wheel tubs and mounting brackets to mount the bed to the frame.Then I can start on the front suspension. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy

For sure they are.Thanx I appreciate that.

Thanx I appreciate the comp.I either use .100 x .250 rectangular rod or tubing to build my frames.

Well got a little more done.I scratchbuilt 2 optima batteries. This pic show the batteries and the fuel-cell mocker up in place. This last pic I thought just looked cool. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy

Got my new inner box panels built today. This last pics makes me not want to stop working on this build even though I have to sleep sometime(eventually). I should have another update by friday at the latest hopefully. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Thanx, I appreciate the compliment.They are not that hard to build once you build the first one.

Got the rear suspension pretty much all wrapped up.Got the airbags done as well. One by itself. 'Bags sitting in place on the lower bars. Upper brackets installed. I'll be starting on the front suspension later this week. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Finally got some motivation and time to put some work into this build.Plus my deadline for this build and 2 others is getting closer.I got the link bars done finally.They are made from 1/16" styrene rod and puch pins. Here's a fron view. From the top you can see the original link bars don't quite reach.I have since stated to build new bars for the top. Finally the rear view.I have to build the upper and lower bags brackets.The lower bracket will sit on the bar and the upper will be built onto the step notch. Thanx for lookin' Jeremy

Thanx there is more to come.I just need to light a fire under myself to get something done.I hope to have some if not all of the rear link bars done by the end of the weekend.

Sorry I've had no updates on this build.I'll be back at this one later this week.

Thanx I appreciate that alot.

Very true.But I like the look of a cantilever set-up.

Sorry I've been behind on posting fellas.I moved almost a month ago now and been slowly getting my building room slowly in order.I got a new frame built for this build.For anyone keeping count thas # 3. Next I'm building the components for the 6 link rear suspension.

Sprayed a quick test hood to lay out my paint idea.The base is metal-speck silver,the skullz are gel pen and the top is metal cast red. Here is a shot of the 502.It is sprayed with the same base and top coat as the test hood. Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy

Thanx I appreciate that.I might enter.But I'm pretty sure it won't be done by september.
